How to Shut Off OVERCLOCKING ?

boss1968

Guys and Gals,
I'm having a problem again with my computer booting up properly (as detailed in a previous thread).
Had no issues for over 2 months, but now it is giving me that 'overclocking error', when I can finally get the computer to boot up.
My question is : how can I deselect the overclocking option in my BIOS (if it is turned on) ?
I can't find the right section to go into to find this information.
My Motherboard model is in my signature below, so if anyone knows how to access the 'overclocking' section in this BIOS, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !

The motherboard manual is too large to attach. So here is the link for you to download:

https://soggi.org/files/motherboards/manual/msi/K9MMV.7z

These are links to the site of your motherboard.

https://soggi.org/motherboards/msi/K9MM-V.htm

Try replacing the cmos battery.
 
Well, I went through the entire BIOS sections for my motherboard, and could not find any function to shut off overclocking, or even anything referring to overclocking. Was this motherboard not set up for that feature perhaps ?

Reset Configuration Data

Frequency for PCI set to 33 MHz

Latency Timer = Default,

Graphics Aperture AGP 256MB.

Memory = set RAS to low set CAS to low.

Floppy Disk Controller = Are you using 5 1/4 inch floppy or 3.5 inch? If the answer is no = disable.

Serial Port A = You’re not an engineer so disable

Serial Port B = Answer same as above.

Steps to Stop Overclocking in Phoenix BIOS:

  1. Enter the BIOS Setup Utility:
    • Restart your computer and press the appropriate key (e.g., F2, Del, Esc, or F10) to enter the BIOS setup.
  2. Navigate to the Advanced Menu:
    • Use the arrow keys to navigate to the Advanced or CPU Configuration section.
  3. Reset Overclocking Settings:
    • Look for the following settings and reset them to their default or auto values:
      • CPU Multiplier/CPU Ratio: Set this to Auto or the default value.
      • CPU Base Clock (BCLK): Set this to the default value (usually 100 MHz).
      • CPU Voltage (Vcore): Set this to Auto or the default voltage.
      • DRAM Frequency: Set this to Auto or the default speed of your RAM.
      • Performance Mode: Disable or set to Normal.
      • Turbo Boost/Intel SpeedStep/AMD Cool'n'Quiet: Enable these features if they were disabled during overclocking.
  4. Load Default Settings (Optional):
    • If you're unsure which settings to change, you can reset the entire BIOS to its default settings:
      • Go to the Exit menu.
      • Select Load Optimized Defaults or Load Setup Defaults.
      • Confirm by selecting Yes.
  5. Save and Exit:
    • After making changes, go to the Exit menu.
    • Select Save Changes and Exit (or press F10 and confirm).
    • The system will reboot with the overclocking settings disabled.
Key Settings to Check:

  • CPU Frequency: Ensure it matches the stock speed of your CPU (e.g., 3.6 GHz for an Intel Core i7-9700K).
  • Voltage Settings: Ensure CPU voltage is set to Auto or the default value.
  • If you are seeing high voltages that could also be a problem should 12V and just over. If you see over 13V could be the problem.

  • RAM Speed: Ensure the RAM is running at its rated speed (e.g., 2400 MHz, 3200 MHz).
Verify Overclocking is Disabled:

  • After rebooting, you can use software like CPU-Z, HWiNFO, or Ryzen Master (for AMD) to check:
    • CPU clock speed.
    • CPU voltage.
    • RAM speed.
  • If the values match the stock specifications of your hardware, overclocking has been successfully disabled.
Finally, and most important:

  1. Photograph your entire Bios on Advanced settings etc.
  2. Label each and post
  3. That way people can guide you through set up.
  4. Just because your computer says it is being overclocked, doesn’t mean that it is.

Hi,
So I went into the BIOS to check on the recommended settings you suggested, and I could not find much of what you posted. I could only see the DRAM setting, which was set to auto already, so I didn't have to do anything there. Perhaps the wording is different in my BIOS, than what you listed ? Are these all in the Advanced section only ? I'm sorry, I'm not tech savvy, so if a wording is different, I might be lost on what to look for, unless it is really specific.
I will say this : when this booting problem started again last week, now when I start the computer, I immediately go into the BIOS, wait about 5 or so minutes, and then click save and exit the BIOS. The computer then boots up as normal into windows. It doesn't shut down, like when I booted up normally.

It has been explained to you, what you need to do. You constantly ignore people and then post the same question. People can only help you if you follow their advice. I suggest that if you don’t really understand The Bios and consider yourself so above everyone who tries to help you then you learn about computer hardware yourself.

Quite frankly, your comment is pretty rude.
I ignore people ? I have thanked everyone who has ever helped me with my computer issues. I even thanked you ! And the Voodoo Lady, too.
If I posted the same question/issue again, it was because after two months of my computer working fine after the initial problem, the booting issue came back, so I updated my situation. Forgive me, oh great keyboard warrior, for posting again.
And if I am 'so above' everyone else, as you claim, then why am I asking for help from others ? Yeah, I'm real conceited.

You say how he finds that he's "above everyone else", but right in the post he's saying things like "I'm sorry, I'm not tech savvy." So that claim makes no sense. Then you say how he ignores people but then I go to his posts and see constant thank yous from people who've helped. Next time when trying to make baseless and false claims, at least do try to make it seem true.. :rolleyes:
